The home's butterfly roof channels rainwater to two stainless-steel scuppers, from which it cascades off into in a waterfall effect upon thoughtfully placed boulders. The butterfly roofs on both ends, also gives the master bedroom a tall, sloped ceiling with allowance for the entry of an abundance of light from above, while a suite of ground-room floors fit cozily below. An elevated cedar deck wraps around three sides of the great room, offering a full day of sunshine for deck lounging and for the entire room to be opened to the outdoors with ease. Plain white duck-cotton curtains on exposed stainless-steel tracks were designed along the three walls to give the client the ability to maintain any level of personal privacy and protection from the sun as desired.

Throughout the house, sustainable, engineered bamboo floors were employed. Preserved with whitewash, they add a durable, yet softening touch to an already airy, open space. The predominantly light-hued interior is dramatically interrupted by dark countertops, and the dark cement panels proceed as an accent to both the inside and out.
